Description

  The present invention relates to a beverage additive mixing cap that is attached to a spout of a beverage container in a state in which the beverage additive is housed therein, and in particular, the beverage additive in a beverage container by simple operation. The present invention relates to an additive mixing cap for beverages that can be mixed with liquid for beverages.

  Conventionally, green tea beverages and the like completed as beverages are enclosed in beverage containers and sold. However, since the number of days actually passes from production to drinking, there is a problem that the taste and flavor of the beverage are impaired, or the customer's desire to purchase is reduced due to discoloration. Thus, in order to solve such problems, in recent years, a technique for mixing an additive such as green tea powder and a liquid for drinking just before drinking has been developed, and several inventions have already been disclosed in this regard. .

Patent Document 1 has the name “container lid structure” and is intended to simplify the operation of charging a beverage additive to drinking water or the like contained in the container in a container lid provided with a beverage additive. The invention relating to the lid structure is disclosed.
Hereinafter, the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described. The invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a lid body in which an annular seal member is pressed against an opening portion of a beverage container by screwing a screw portion, and the lid body is provided with a beverage additive container. The annular seal member has a structure in which a cut groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface and is formed in a slit shape, and a partition plate is installed in the cut groove. And the partition plate partitions the space | interval and the container of a drink additive, and forms the imaging part which protrudes outside the cover body.
In the lid structure of the container having such a feature, when the screwing of the lid is loosened, the state where the partition plate is sandwiched by the annular seal member is loosened. In this case, since the beverage additive is dropped into the container by taking the shooting part and pulling out the partition plate, the operation of charging the beverage additive can be simplified.

Next, Patent Document 2 discloses an invention relating to a beverage mixing container in which a powdered tea and drinking water are mixed for the first time at the time of a beverage in a plastic bottle type beverage container under the name of “beverage mixing container”.
In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, the powder is accommodated in a sealed container fixed to the bottle mouth of the container body, and a cap having a protrusion on the inner side is detachably attached to the bottle mouth so as to surround the sealed container. In addition, a collar member having a mechanical weak point is interposed between the lower end of the cap and the container body.
In the mixing container for beverages having such a feature, when the cap is rotated while pushing during the beverage, the mechanical weak point portion of the collar member is broken by the end of the cap, and the sealed container is pierced by the protrusion. It falls into the drinking water of the container body, and both are reliably mixed. Therefore, the mixture can be drunk without impairing the flavor or the like of the powder.

And in patent document 3, it is a drink with the name "powder supply container for drinks installed in the mouth and neck part", which allows beverage powder to drop into water by a simple operation at the time of drinking, and to mix beverage powder and water. An invention relating to a powder supply container is disclosed.
The invention disclosed in Patent Document 3 is a beverage powder supply container that is inserted and installed in a state in which an inner cylinder container is stacked on an outer cylinder container, and is attached to a mouth-and-neck portion, and includes an outer cylinder container and an inner cylinder container Each is provided with a flange, and a hole is formed on one side of the center line of the bottom of these containers.
In beverage powder supply containers having such characteristics, when the inner cylinder container is rotated counterclockwise during drinking, the outer cylinder container and the bottom hole of the inner cylinder container communicate with each other, and most of the beverage powder in the inner cylinder container falls into water. To do. Therefore, it is possible to drink a fresh flavored beverage with a simple operation.

JP 2004-268930 A JP 2003-72222 A JP 2009-269664 A

In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the beverage additive is dropped into the container by taking the photographing part and pulling out the partition plate, the operation of charging the beverage additive can be simplified. .
However, after the partition plate is pulled out, the slit-shaped kerf remains in the state of penetrating the upper part of the container. If the container is shaken in this state, the beverage in the container may leak from the kerf. That is, even if the operation of charging the beverage additive can be simplified, there may be a disadvantage at the same time, and the advantageous effect may be offset. In addition, the manufacturing cost may be increased due to the relatively precise structure such as sandwiching the annular seal member in the kerf and further sandwiching the partition plate.

Next, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the protrusion of the cap breaks through the sealed container and the powder falls into the drinking water of the container body, the powder and water can be mixed reliably.
However, since the sealed container is pierced by the protrusion, there is a possibility that fragments may be generated depending on the material of the sealed container and mixed into the mixed drinking water. Further, since the collar member is structured to be detached from the main body, there is a possibility that fine garbage is generated at the time of drinking and the disposal thereof becomes troublesome.

Further, in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 3, the bottom hole of the outer cylinder container and the inner cylinder container communicate with each other, and most of the beverage powder in the inner cylinder container falls into water. Can drink.
However, in order to make the outer cylinder container and the bottom hole of the inner cylinder container communicate with each other, it is necessary to rotate the inner cylinder container with respect to the outer cylinder container. In this case, the flange of the inner cylinder container that functions as a gripping part has a small protruding portion in the circumferential direction, and has substantially the same shape as the flange of the outer cylinder container. Therefore, it is expected that it takes time and effort to selectively grip and rotate only the flange of the inner cylinder container.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and can be used to drink a fresh beverage with a simple operation, and is easy to manufacture and excellent in cost. An object is to provide an additive mixing cap.

In order to achieve the above object, a beverage additive mixing cap according to the invention described in claim 1 is a lid member attached to a beverage container having a spout, and a cylindrical body attached to the spout, A lid body for closing one end of the cylindrical body, and a partition member having at least a part made of a film body, and containing an additive, and the film body is water or alcohol or water and alcohol The spout has a male threaded portion on the outer peripheral surface, one end of the cylinder extends beyond the lid, and an additive is added inside the tube. A housing part is installed, and a female thread part is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the edge to be screwed into the male thread part of the spout. A sealing member that closes the open end of the cylinder so as to be able to enclose the object accommodating portion is provided.
In the beverage additive mixing cap configured as described above, when the cylinder is attached to the spout of the beverage container, the spout of the beverage container is sealed by the cylinder and the lid, and the liquid spout accommodated in the beverage container Leakage from the water is prevented. Here, attaching the cylinder to the spout of the beverage container means that the cylinder is fitted or screwed to the spout of the beverage container.
In addition, the cylindrical body, the lid body, and the additive container are not only independently formed, but any one selected from these may be combined and formed integrally with each other. For example, when the cylinder is formed integrally with the lid, when the additive container is formed integrally with the lid, when the additive container is formed integrally with the cylinder and the lid It is. In addition, the additive storage part may be formed integrally with the cylinder.
On the other hand, there are two types of installation positions of the additive accommodating portion: the inside of the cylinder, the inside of the cylinder, and the inside of the lid. And it is the space enclosed by the partition member that functions as the additive container, and when this partition member comes into contact with the liquid in the beverage container, the film body dissolves and the additive in the additive container is the beverage container It has the effect | action of throwing in.
Then, the spout of the beverage container is connected to the cylindrical body and the lid by fastening the female thread portion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the end of the cylindrical body extending beyond the lid body to the male thread portion of the beverage container. It is sealed by the body and has the effect of preventing leakage of beverage liquid from the spout.
Further, the sealing member has an effect of preventing foreign matters from entering the cylinder, invasion of germs and the like, and deterioration of the additive in the additive accommodating portion. Moreover, it has the effect | action that an additive accommodating part is easily exposed by simple operation of peeling a sealing member.

According to the beverage additive mixing cap of claim 1 of the present invention, the spout can be easily opened before drinking. Moreover, it is possible to reliably prevent leakage of additives and liquids when the mixed beverage is produced. Thereby, the safety of the product is ensured. In addition, since the additive is stored in a lump in the additive storage unit, even if it is a powder, it can be efficiently put into the beverage container without being scattered. Thereby, the freshness of an additive is maintained. And when throwing into a drink container, since a user does not touch an additive, it is hygienic. Moreover, since the addition of the additive is started by bringing the liquid in the beverage container into contact with the partition member, the mixed beverage can be generated immediately before drinking. Furthermore, since the beverage additive mixing cap of the present invention has a simple structure and low material cost, it can be easily manufactured at low cost. In addition, after opening the spout of the beverage container, the user can generate a fresh flavored beverage only by a simple operation of bringing the film body of the additive container into contact with the liquid in the beverage container.
In addition, the cylinder, lid, and additive container are formed independently of each other, and the selected ones may be integrally formed. Because of this, various types of beverage additive mixing caps can be manufactured.
In addition, there is an effect that the quality of the additive in the additive container is maintained by the sealing member. Moreover, since an additive storage part is easily exposed by peeling a planar seal | sticker, an additive can be rapidly injected | thrown-in to the liquid in a beverage container.
Furthermore, the spout of the beverage container is reliably sealed by the cylinder and the lid. Therefore, there is an effect that the liquid in the beverage container can be reliably prevented from leaking from the spout during transportation. Thereby, the safety of the product is ensured. Moreover, if the female screw part of the cylinder is again screwed into the female screw part of the beverage container after drinking, the beverage container and the beverage additive mixing cap can be discarded together without being dissipated. .

(A) And (b) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view which shows the state before and after mixing an additive in the additive mixing cap for drinks which concerns on Example 5, respectively.

The beverage additive mixing cap of Example 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 (mainly corresponding to claim 1).
1A and 1B are longitudinal sectional views showing states before and after mixing additives in a beverage additive mixing cap according to Example 1, respectively. FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. In addition, about the component shown in FIG. 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected also in Fig.3 (a), and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the beverage additive mixing cap 1 of the present embodiment is composed of a cylindrical body 2, a lid body 3, an additive storage portion 4 and a sealing seal 13, and is attached to a beverage container 5. It is used in the state. On the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 2, female screw portions 9 and 10 that are screwed with the male screw portion 8 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the beverage container 5 are provided in the vicinity of both ends. The beverage container 5 includes a spout 7 in which a beverage liquid 6 such as water (mineral water), coffee, tea, sake, shochu, or the like is accommodated. That is, the spout 7 of the beverage container 5 is sealed by the cylindrical body 2 and the lid 3 by fastening one of the female screw portions 9 and 10 of the cylindrical body 2 to the male screw portion 8. Leakage of the beverage liquid 6 is prevented. The lid 3 has a disk shape, and the outer peripheral end is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 2 without a gap so as to close the opening of the cylindrical body 2. In the present embodiment, the lid 3 is attached to the side where the beverage container 5 is attached. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the attachment location of the lid 3 can be arbitrarily determined.

  The additive accommodating portion 4 is formed in a box shape by a cylindrical wall surface 4a (see FIG. 3A) and a bottom surface 4b, and the additive 12 is accommodated therein. Further, the upper portion of the additive containing portion 4 is sealed with the soluble film 11, and the bottom surface 4 b is bonded to the surface of the lid 3. The soluble film 11 has a property of being dissolved in at least one of water, alcohol (especially ethyl alcohol), or a mixture of water and alcohol. For example, the soluble film 11 is applied to a human body such as an wafer made of starch. It consists only of harmless ingredients, and the additive 12 is a powder or powder such as green tea, coffee, tea, protein, spices, green juice, turmeric, vitamins, sugar, powdered milk or other nutritional supplements. It consists of what was solidified.

  An outer peripheral end 13a of a sealing seal 13 made of a light-shielding, moisture-proof, and waterproof film such as an aluminum thin film is detachably bonded to the upper edge of the cylindrical body 2. That is, the opening on the female screw 10 portion side of the cylindrical body 2 is closed by the sealing seal 13. And the additive accommodating part 4 is installed in the space formed by this sealing seal 13, the cylindrical body 2, and the cover body 3. FIG. That is, the sealing seal 13 has an effect of preventing invasion of germs and the like into the inside of the cylindrical body 2 in which the additive accommodating portion 4 is accommodated. Thereby, the quality of the additive 12 is maintained. In addition, the material of the cylindrical body 2, the cover body 3, and the additive accommodating part 4 is synthetic resins, such as polyester.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 1 having the above structure, the additive containing portion 4 is easily exposed by a simple operation of peeling the sealing seal 13. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, when the beverage additive mixing cap 1 is turned upside down and the female screw portion 10 of the cylindrical body 2 is fastened to the male screw portion 8 of the beverage container 5, it is soluble. The membrane 11 contacts and dissolves the beverage liquid 6 in the beverage container 5. As a result, the additive 12 in the additive accommodating part 4 is thrown in into the beverage liquid 6, and the mixed drink 14 is produced | generated. At this time, if the beverage additive mixing cap 1 and the beverage container 5 are shaken, the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 are easily mixed uniformly. The sealing seal 13 is preferably peeled off while the cylindrical body 2 is attached to the beverage container 5.

  According to the beverage additive mixing cap 1 of the present embodiment, the spout 7 is sealed by tightening or loosening the female screw portions 9 and 10 of the cylindrical body 2 with respect to the female screw portion 9 of the beverage container 5. Since it is structured to be stopped or opened, it is easy to attach to or remove from the beverage container 5. Therefore, leakage of the beverage liquid 6 from the spout 7 during transportation and leakage of the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 during generation of the mixed beverage 14 can be reliably prevented. Thereby, the safety of the product is ensured. Further, the sealing seal 13, the cylindrical body 2 and the lid body 3 having light shielding, moisture proofing and waterproofing functions together with the additive accommodating portion 4 to prevent the additive 12 from being deteriorated and foreign matters mixed therein.

  Furthermore, the additive 12 is accommodated in a lump in the additive accommodating part 4, and even if it is a powder, it is difficult to scatter when it is put into the beverage liquid 6. Therefore, it can be efficiently put into the beverage liquid 6. Thereby, the freshness of the additive 12 is maintained. In addition, the soluble membrane 11 is versatile because it can be used for all kinds of liquids including at least one of water, alcohol, or a mixture of water and alcohol. In addition, since it disappears after dissolution, it is difficult to become garbage after drinking. And if either female thread part 9 and 10 of cylinder 2 are made into the state screwed in female thread part 9 of beverage container 5, it will not dissipate beverage container 5 and an additive mixing cap 1 for beverages. Can be discarded together. Furthermore, since it does not touch the additive 12 when mixing with the beverage liquid 6, it is hygienic. And since addition of the additive 12 to the liquid 6 for drinks is started by making the soluble film 11 contact the liquid 6 for drinks, the production | generation of the mixed drink 14 can be performed just before drinking.

  As described above, the additive additive mixing portion 1 including the wall surface 4a, the bottom surface 4b, and the soluble film 11, and the beverage additive mixing cap 1 constituted by the cylindrical body 2 and the lid body 3 have a simple structure. Since the material cost is low, it can be manufactured inexpensively and easily. In addition, after opening the spout 7 of the beverage container 5, it is possible to produce a fresh mixed beverage 14 that is very flavorful only by a simple operation of bringing the soluble membrane 11 into contact with the beverage liquid 6. In addition, since the volume of the additive container 4 can be set variously, the concentration and flavor of the mixed beverage 14 can be changed according to the user's preference by changing the type and amount of the additive 12 in various ways. Can be adjusted.

  The structure of the beverage additive mixing cap of the present invention is not limited to that shown in this example. For example, the additive container 4 does not necessarily have the bottom surface 4 b bonded to the surface of the lid 3, and is installed inside the cylindrical body 2 in close contact with at least one of the cylindrical body 2 and the lid 3. It only has to be done. Furthermore, the shape of the additive container 4 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a cubic shape, a polygonal shape, or the like. Further, in this embodiment, the fusible membrane 11 covers the entire upper surface of the additive containing portion 4 so as to constitute the partition member together with the wall surface 4a and the bottom surface 4b. It can also be set as the structure where places other than the upper surface of the additive accommodating part 4 were covered with the melt film 11. FIG. Furthermore, the partition member may be composed of only the soluble film 11. In addition, the additive 14 is not limited to powder and may be solid. Moreover, it can also be set as the structure where the drink additive mixing cap 1 and the drink container 5 whole were coat | covered with the film for protection. According to this protective film, the effect of maintaining the freshness of the additive 12 is further enhanced. In this case, it is necessary to remove the protective film before loosening the female screw portion 9 and the male screw portion 8 in the tightened state.

The beverage additive mixing cap of Example 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
2A and 2B are longitudinal sectional views showing states before and after mixing additives in the beverage additive mixing cap according to Example 2, respectively. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B in FIG. In addition, about the component shown in FIG. 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the beverage additive mixing cap 15 of this example is replaced with the cylindrical body 2, the lid 3, the additive container 4 and the sealing seal 13 in Example 1, respectively. A cylindrical body 16, a lid body 17, an additive storage part 18 and a covering part 19 are provided. On the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 16, only the female screw portion 9 that is screwed with the male screw portion 8 of the beverage container 5 is provided in the vicinity of the lower end. That is, the spout 7 of the beverage container 5 is sealed by the cylindrical body 16 and the lid 17 by fastening the female thread 9 of the cylindrical body 16 to the male thread 8 of the beverage container 5, and the It has a structure in which leakage of the beverage liquid 6 is prevented. The lid body 17 has a disk shape, and the outer peripheral end is fixed to one end edge of the cylindrical body 16 without a gap. The additive container 18 installed in the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 16 and the lid body 17 is formed in a hemispherical shape by the lid body 17 and the soluble film 20, and the additive 12 is accommodated therein. Has been. The material of the cylindrical body 16 and the lid body 17 is a synthetic resin such as polyester, and the outer peripheral end of the soluble film 20 is bonded to the lid body 17.

  The lower surfaces of the additive containing portion 18 and the lid body 17 are covered with a covering portion 19 made of polyester resin or the like. That is, the soluble film 20 is covered with the accommodating portion covering portion 19a, and the lid 17 surrounding the soluble membrane 20 is covered with the lid covering portion 19b. Further, the locking portion 19 c provided at the outer peripheral end of the lid body covering portion 19 b is pressed against the vicinity of the upper edge of the inner periphery of the cylindrical body 16. A gripping claw 19d having a bent tip is provided on the lower surface of the lid covering portion 19b at approximately the middle between the accommodating portion covering portion 19a and the locking portion 19c. In addition, as shown in FIG.3 (b), the press-contact of the latching | locking part 19c is covering the whole inner periphery of the cylindrical body 16, and the holding claws 19d and 19d are the accommodating part coating | coated part 19a and the latching | locking part 19c. They are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axial center of the cylindrical body 16 at a substantially intermediate point.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 15 having such a structure, since the soluble film 20 is covered with the accommodating portion covering portion 19a, the beverage liquid 6 is applied to the soluble membrane 20 unless the covering portion 19 is removed. There is no contact. Further, since the covering portion 19 is mounted such that the locking portion 19c is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 16 in the vicinity of the lid body 17, it can be attached or detached regardless of the presence or absence of the additive accommodating portion 18. It is. Furthermore, since the gripping claws 19d and 19d function as a gripping part, it is easy to remove. When the covering portion 19 is removed as shown in FIG. 2B, the soluble film 20 comes into contact with the beverage liquid 6 and dissolves, so that the additive 12 contained in the additive containing portion 18 is used for beverages. It is poured into the liquid 6 to produce a mixed beverage 14.

  According to the beverage additive mixing cap 15 of the present embodiment, since the additive containing portion 18 is installed in the space surrounded by the cylindrical body 16 and the lid body 17, it can be packaged in a compact manner. Thereby, mass transportation becomes possible. Moreover, since the additive accommodating part 18 is coat | covered with the coating | coated part 19, it does not contact the liquid 6 for drink accidentally before drinking. Therefore, the quality of the additive 12 is maintained. Furthermore, since the covering part 19 can be easily removed by the gripping claws 19d, 19d, the soluble film 20 can be quickly exposed and the additive 12 can be poured into the beverage liquid 6 in a short time. In addition, by attaching the covering portion 19 to the cylindrical body 16 again after drinking, the beverage additive mixing cap 15 can be discarded without being bulky. As described above, the beverage additive mixing cap 15 has a small number of constituent members and a simple structure, and thus can be easily manufactured at a low cost. Moreover, since the additive 12 is mixed with the beverage liquid 6 by a simple operation, a fresh flavored mixed beverage 14 can be easily generated.

  In addition, the additive mixture cap for drinks of this invention is not limited to the structure shown in a present Example. For example, the installation location of the additive container 18 may be near the outer periphery of the lid body 17. Further, the shape may be a hemispherical shape, a cylindrical shape, a cubic shape, a polygonal shape, or the like. Furthermore, if the height is below the full length of the cylindrical body 16, it can change suitably. In addition, the locking portion 19c of the covering portion 19 may have a structure in which a screw portion is provided on the outer peripheral edge and a screw portion that is screwed to the screw portion is provided on the cylindrical body 16 or the lid body 17. Further, in consideration of the risk of the beverage liquid 6 entering the additive accommodating portion 18 through the locking portion 19c before drinking, a waterproof material is provided at a portion where the locking portion 19c is pressed against the cylindrical body 16. May be. Moreover, the number and installation location of the gripping claws 19d can be changed as appropriate.

The beverage additive mixing cap of Example 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
4 (a) and 4 (b) are longitudinal sectional views showing states before and after mixing additives in the beverage additive mixing cap according to Example 3, respectively. The constituent elements shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the additive mixing cap 21 for beverages of this example has an additive storage part 22 and an inner lid 24 in place of the additive storage part 18 and the covering part 19 in Example 2, respectively. It is characterized by having. The additive accommodating portion 22 is installed in a space surrounded by the cylindrical body 16 and the lid body 17, and the side wall 22a and the soluble film 23 constitute a partition member. Further, both ends of the cylindrical side wall 22 a made of a synthetic resin such as polyester are closed by the soluble film 23 and the lid body 17, and the additive 12 is accommodated in the additive accommodating portion 22. The lid 17 is bonded to the upper end of the side wall 22a.
Further, the inner lid 24 made of a synthetic resin such as polyester is detachably attached to the upper edge of the beverage container 5, thereby sealing the spout 7 of the beverage container 5, and for beverages from the spout 7. The liquid 6 is prevented from leaking out.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 21 having such a structure, the inner lid 24 is detachably attached to the inner periphery of the upper end of the beverage container 5, so that when the inner lid 24 is removed, the soluble film 23 becomes the beverage. Dissolved in contact with the working liquid 6. Thereby, as FIG.4 (b) shows, only the side wall 22a will remain in the component of the additive accommodating part 22 which functions as the above-mentioned partition member. Other functions are the same as those of the beverage additive mixing cap 15 of the second embodiment.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 21 of the present embodiment, since the additive storage portion 22 is isolated from the beverage liquid 6 by the inner lid 24, the additive storage portion 22 is for beverages unless the inner lid 24 is removed. There is no contact with the liquid 6. Therefore, the quality of the additive 12 is maintained. The beverage additive mixing cap 21 has a simple structure as in the second embodiment. Therefore, it can be easily manufactured at a low cost. Moreover, since the flavored fresh mixed drink 14 can be produced | generated easily by simple operation of removing the inner cover 24, it is convenient. Further, other effects are the same as those of the beverage additive mixing cap 15 of Example 2.

  In addition, the additive mixture cap for drinks of this invention is not limited to the structure shown in a present Example. For example, instead of adhering the inner lid 24 to the beverage container 5, a structure in which a locking portion is provided at the outer peripheral end of the inner lid 24 and locked to the upper end of the beverage container 5 may be employed. In addition, a waterproof material may be provided on the outer peripheral end of the inner lid 24 that contacts the upper end of the beverage container 5. Alternatively, instead of the inner lid 24, a sealing seal made of a film such as an aluminum thin film having a light shielding property, a moisture proof property or a waterproof property is detachably bonded to the inner periphery of the upper end of the beverage container 5. Also good. Further, the additive container 22 may have a bottom surface similar to the bottom surface 4 b of the additive container 4 in the first embodiment, and the bottom surface may be bonded to the lid body 17. Furthermore, the additive accommodating part 22 may have a structure in which a portion other than the lower surface is covered with the soluble film 23, or the partition member may be composed of only the soluble film 23. And the shape of the additive accommodating part 22 is not restricted to column shape, Cubic shape, polygonal shape, etc. may be sufficient.

Furthermore, as shown to Fig.5 (a), the structure provided with the drink additive mixing cap 21a instead of the drink additive mixing cap 21 of Example 3 may be sufficient. The beverage additive mixing cap 21a uses the concave portion at the center of the inner lid 24a as the additive containing portion 25 as it is. That is, the upper surface of the additive 12 accommodated in the additive accommodating portion 25 is covered with the soluble film 23a in which the outer peripheral edge is bonded to the opening of the concave portion of the inner lid 24a. Moreover, the latching | locking part to the beverage container 5 upper end is provided in the outer peripheral end of the inner cover 24a. In this case, the inner lid 24a is once removed at the time of drinking, is fitted again upside down, and the soluble membrane 23a is brought into contact with the beverage liquid 6 to dissolve the soluble membrane 23a. Subsequently, it is desirable to shake the inner lid 24a and the beverage container 5 in order to dissolve the additive 12 quickly. And after melt | dissolution of the additive 12, it will be in the state shown in FIG.5 (b). According to the beverage additive mixing cap 21a having such a structure, since the side wall 22a does not exist, the effect equivalent to that of the beverage additive mixing cap 21 is obtained while having a simpler structure than the beverage additive mixing cap 21. Is demonstrated. Moreover, since the latching | locking part was provided in the outer peripheral end of the inner lid | cover 24a, it can be made to fit with the drink container 5 reliably and the leakage of the drink liquid 6 can be prevented. In addition, although the cylindrical body 16 is not fitted in FIG.5 (b), you may make it improve the water-tightness of the inner lid | cover 24a and the beverage container 5 by fitting this.
In addition, although the inner lid 24a in the present embodiment has a configuration in which a locking portion is provided at the outer peripheral end, this locking portion does not necessarily have to be provided. In that case, a protrusion that fits inside the beverage container 5 may be provided around the outer periphery of the inner lid 24a. However, in order to facilitate the removal of the inner lid 24a, a member for pulling as necessary may be provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the inner lid 24a.
In addition, for example, the inner lid 24a is fixed to the upper end edge of the beverage container 5 with an adhesive or the like, without peeling off the outer peripheral end of the inner lid 24a, and the inner lid 24a is peeled off and turned upside down. After hitting the upper edge of the beverage container 5, the cylindrical body 16 may be screwed into the beverage container 5 so that the inner lid 24 a can be pressed against the beverage container 5 to such an extent that watertightness can be maintained. In this case, the height of the cylindrical body 16 is set according to the depth of the additive container 25, and the cylindrical body 16 pushes the additive container 25 to make the inner lid 24a and the beverage container 5 watertight. Alternatively, the water tightness of the beverage container 5 may be ensured by forming the inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical body 16 so as to be in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the beverage container 5.

The beverage additive mixing cap of Example 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
6 (a) and 6 (b) are longitudinal sectional views showing states before and after mixing additives in the beverage additive mixing cap according to Example 4, respectively. The components shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the beverage additive mixing cap 26 of this embodiment includes a cylindrical body 27, a lid body 28, a soluble film 31, a gripping member 32, and a sealing seal 33. A female screw portion 9 is formed on the inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of the lower end of the cylindrical body 27, and is screwed with the male screw portion 8 formed on the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of the upper end of the beverage container 5. The upper end of the cylindrical body 27 forms an opening end 34. The opening end 34 has a height that allows the lid body 28 to be fitted, and the spout 30 that is an opening surface is closed by the lid body 28. As a result, a space surrounded by the open end 34 and the lid 28 is formed. This space is used as an additive container 29 having a side wall 29a. And the additive 12 is accommodated in the additive accommodating part 29, and the downward direction is sealed with the soluble film | membrane 31. FIG. That is, the soluble film 31, the side wall 29 a, and the lid body 28 form a partition member for the additive container 29. The soluble film 31 is held around the entire periphery by a holding member 32, and the holding member 32 is bonded to a cylindrical body 27 near the lower end of the side wall 29a. Although the gripping member 32 is integrally formed in FIG. 6, the gripping member 32 may be bonded as a sheet-like member that can be divided into two vertically and sandwiching the soluble film 31. By adopting such a configuration, it is easy to manufacture as a combined structure of the gripping member 32 and the soluble film 31, and the cost can be reduced. Further, in FIG. 6, the side wall 29 a is configured to come into contact with the lid body 28 via the sealing seal 33, but the height of the side wall 29 a is not particularly limited, and the sealing seal 33 serves as the lid body 28. It is not necessary to touch.
The material of the cylindrical body 27, the lid body 28, and the gripping member 32 is a synthetic resin such as polyester, and the soluble film 31 is at least one of water, alcohol (particularly ethyl alcohol), or a mixture of water and alcohol. It has the property of dissolving in The sealing seal 33 is made of a film such as an aluminum thin film having a light shielding property, a moisture proof property, or a waterproof property.
A sealing seal 13 is releasably adhered to the upper edge of the beverage container 5 to seal the spout 7, and the cylindrical body 27 and the beverage container 5 are once separated immediately before drinking to provide the sealing seal 13 It has a peeling structure.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 26 having such a structure, when the sealing seal 13 is peeled off, the beverage liquid 6 is unsealed, and the soluble film 31 comes into contact with the beverage liquid 6 in the beverage container 5. Dissolve. As a result, the additive 12 in the additive accommodating part 29 is thrown into the beverage liquid 6 and the mixed beverage 14 is generated. At this time, if the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 and the beverage container 5 are shaken with the lid 28 fitted to the opening end 34, the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 are not leaked from the spout 30 and are uniform. Easy to mix into. After mixing, the mixed beverage 14 is poured out from the spout 30 when the lid 28 and the sealing seal 33 are removed as shown in FIG. At this time, the gripping member 32 remains. The mixed beverage 14 may be poured out from the spout 7.

  According to the beverage additive mixing cap 26 of the present embodiment, since the side wall 29a and the lid body 28 form the partition member of the additive container 29 in addition to the soluble film 31, no separate partition member is required. . Therefore, it is possible to manufacture with a smaller number of parts and processes. Further, since the soluble film 31 is bonded to the cylindrical body 27 via the gripping member 32, the soluble film 31 can be fixed more firmly than the case where the soluble film 31 is directly bonded to the cylindrical body 27. Therefore, since there is no possibility that the additive 12 will drop off from the additive container 29 before drinking, the value of the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 as a product can be maintained. Furthermore, when the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 is attached to the beverage container 5 for sale, the sealing seal 13 can isolate the soluble membrane 31 and the beverage liquid 6 from each other. A structure in which 31 is in close contact with the sealing seal 13 can be adopted. Therefore, the size of the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 and the beverage container 5 can be made compact as a whole, and at the same time, the deterioration of the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 can be prevented. Further, if the lid 28 and the sealing seal 33 are made of a transparent material, the additive 12 can be visually recognized, and the user's willingness to purchase can be caused. And since the cover body 28 can be attached or detached, when using the opening end 34 as a drinking mouth, it can be drunk little by little at a desired time, maintaining the cleanliness of the mixed drink 14, and is convenient.

  In addition, the additive mixture cap for drinks of this invention is not limited to the structure shown in a present Example. For example, a soluble film may be used instead of the sealing seal 33, or it may not be provided. In this case, only the sealing seal 13 needs to be peeled off and the operation at the time of drinking can be further simplified. However, when the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 are mixed with the lid 28 opened, mixing is performed from the opening end 34. Care should be taken because the beverage 34 overflows. Further, the soluble film 31 may be directly bonded to the cylindrical body 27 without using the gripping member 32. At this time, the bonded portion may become fragile. However, when the amount of the additive 12 is small or when the density is low, the possibility that the additive 12 falls due to its own weight is small. Further, the lid 28 may be fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the opening end 34 or may be screwed. The gripping member 32 may be adhered to any height of the cylindrical body 27 as long as the gripping member 32 is positioned higher than the sealing seal 13 as long as the additive 12 can be sealed. Therefore, the amount can be adjusted over a wide range according to the type and preference of the additive 12. In addition, when the lid body 28 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the opening end 34, the gripping member 32 may be bonded to the side wall of the lid body 28.

The beverage additive mixing cap of Example 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
7 (a) and 7 (b) are longitudinal sectional views showing states before and after mixing additives in the beverage additive mixing cap according to Example 5, respectively. The components shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the beverage additive mixing cap 35 of the present embodiment includes a cylindrical body 36, a lid body 37, a soluble film 31, and a gripping member 32. Unlike the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 of Example 2, the internal thread portion 9 is not formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 36, and the lower end thereof is fitted to the upper end of the beverage container 39. The upper part from the fitting portion is directly the lid body 37, and the cylindrical body 36 and the lid body 37 are integrally formed. The lid 37 has a box shape with the upper end closed, and the space formed therein is used as the additive accommodating portion 38. An upper end portion of the lid body 37 is an upper surface 38a and a side surface is a side wall 38b. The additive 12 is accommodated in the additive accommodating portion 38, and the lower portion thereof is sealed with a soluble film 31 gripped by the gripping member 32. That is, the soluble film 31, the upper surface 38 a, and the side wall 38 b form a partition member for the additive accommodating portion 38. The material of the cylindrical body 36 and the lid body 37 is a synthetic resin such as polyester. The other structure is the same as that of the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 of Example 4.

  In the beverage additive mixing cap 35 having such a structure, the cylindrical body 36 fitted to the beverage container 39 is pulled upward, the sealing seal 13 is peeled off, and the cylindrical body 36 is fitted into the beverage container 39 again. Thereafter, when the beverage additive mixing cap 35 and the beverage container 39 are shaken, the additive 12 and the beverage liquid 6 are mixed. After mixing, the gripping member 32 remains as shown in FIG. The completed mixed beverage 14 is poured out from the spout 7. Other functions are the same as those of the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 of Example 4.

  According to the beverage additive mixing cap 35 of the present embodiment, since the lower end of the cylindrical body 36 is fitted to the upper end of the beverage container 39, the cylindrical body 36 is removed compared to the case of screwing. And easy to install. In addition to the soluble film 31, the upper surface 38 a and the side wall 38 b, that is, the upper end portion of the lid body 37 forms a partition member for the additive accommodating portion 38, and the cylindrical body 36 and the lid body 37 are integrally formed. Therefore, manufacturing is easier. Accordingly, the effect of suppressing the manufacturing cost can be improved. Other effects are the same as those of the beverage point additive mixing cap 26 of Example 4.

  In addition, the additive mixture cap for drinks of this invention is not limited to the structure shown in a present Example. For example, the height of the side wall 38b may be further reduced as long as the additive 12 can be accommodated. Since the additive containing portion 38 is closed by the upper surface 38a, it cannot be used as a drinking mouth, but can be made more compact by suppressing its protrusion, which is advantageous when transporting without being bulky. . Further, the cylindrical body 36 and the beverage container 39 may each have a threaded portion and may be screwed together.

  The invention described in claim 1 can be used when adding additives such as sugar, powdered milk, vitamins, green juice, turmeric, and other supplements to mineral water, soft drinks or alcoholic beverages, The present invention is applicable not only to beverages that are retailed but also to beverages for long-term storage.
